Chapter 371 Where is the finished product?
Unaware that Jiang Liyue was cursing him behind his back for his sluggish behavior, Chu Li quickly accepted her explanation.
If she wants to play, then let her play whatever she wants, as long as she doesn't leave me.
With him always there to back her up, nothing she does will go wrong.
Moreover, Chu Li only agreed not to use his own power to find the truth directly, but didn't say he wouldn't help. Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Then shouldn't we hurry up and find clues?"
Jiang Liyue waved her hand dismissively: "Find it."
However, finding clues was not as easy as imagined.
Just as Jiang Liyue had expected, after Lilith disappeared, whether it was Miss Pera or anyone else, the first thing they looked for was Lilith's room.
If there were any obvious clues, they would probably have been discovered long ago.
Jiang Liyue found Lilith's experimental log, which recorded how she tried to turn humans into dolls.
I remember it clearly every day.
Lilith initially created dolls by imitating human bodies, but later she began to experiment directly on humans she captured.
However, her strength was not very high, so the number of humans she could use for experiments was limited, and her experiments progressed very slowly.
Jiang Liyue couldn't help but think that using scientific methods to deal with something as fantastical as turning humans into dolls was indeed unreliable.
Sure enough, on the last page of Lilith's experimental log, it read: "So it still doesn't work? Maybe I really should try other methods..."
Finally, she wrote the word "curse" and circled it in red.
From this page onwards, the experimental log is completely blank, containing no content.
"So, she started researching curses? Did she succeed in her research?" Jiang Liyue muttered to herself as she pondered.
She sat on Chu Li's shoulders, directing him to flip through the work log, then suddenly tugged at his hair as if she had noticed something: "Chu Li, wait a minute, stop on this page."
Chu. A book-turning tool. He stopped moving from his horse.
Jiang Liyue asked him to turn the page a little further, and she finally noticed that there were traces of it being torn at the end.
"It was torn before. Did Lilith tear it herself, or did the people who came here to look for her after she disappeared find something and then tear it?"
There is no answer to this question for now, but in any case, it proves that Lilith's research on the curse will definitely have a follow-up.
This follow-up might be related to her disappearance.
Otherwise, why would anyone tear out this page for no reason?
But once it's torn, it's torn. Jiang Liyue can't find it now, and there's nothing she can do about it.
"Let's check other places." Jiang Liyue patted Chu Li's shoulder again, directing him to search other parts of the room.
It has to be said that Chu Li is quite useful as both a tool and a mount. He can do whatever he wants without any complaints. As long as Jiang Liyue rewards him with two kisses, he becomes even more energetic and turns the room upside down.
Unfortunately, Lilith's room was really much like her workspace, with virtually no important clues.
After searching for so long, all they learned about Lilith's determination and perseverance in researching dolls came from her work log, and from some of the items Miss Pera had given her, which showed that the two girls were indeed on good terms.
There doesn't seem to be any more information.
Should we leave here immediately?
Jiang Liyue rested her chin on her hand, staring at the room, seemingly deep in thought.
Her gaze drifted aimlessly to the pile of failed dolls in the corner, when suddenly a brilliant idea struck her.
"Chu Li, I've thought of something," Jiang Liyue said excitedly.
Chu Li wasn't actually thinking, because the strange boss's instinct was that when he wanted to "seek knowledge," information would keep popping up in his mind.
He might inadvertently learn the truth directly, which would spoil her interest.
Therefore, Chu Li focused his attention solely on Jiang Liyue. She was small and adorable, and Chu Li wouldn't feel bored even if he stared at her all day.
As for Lilith and Pera, he didn't even give them a second thought, completely ignoring them.
That's why Chu Li was stunned for a moment when Jiang Liyue asked him.
However, he still subconsciously supported Jiang Liyue: "Baby, what's on your mind?"
“Do you remember me telling you that Miss Pera told me that Lilith said she had good news to tell her before she disappeared, and that the good news was that Lilith might have figured out how to turn humans into dolls?”
Chu Li certainly remembered: "Yes."
"Think carefully, under what circumstances would Lilith be certain that her research has succeeded?" Jiang Liyue said excitedly, without directly stating her answer, but looking at Chu Li expectantly.
Chu Li wasn't stupid; he immediately guessed what she was going to say and followed up, "Of course, that's after she has at least one successful research result."
“That’s right!” Jiang Liyue said with certainty. “If we’re going to succeed in this research, Lilith must have at least one successful sample, right?”
Otherwise, how could she be sure that she had really figured out how to turn people into dolls?
Jiang Liyue paused, then looked around the room: "But look, this room is full of failed dolls. Where is Lilith's successful research result?"
This is something that Jiang Liyue has always felt was missing since she came to Lilith's room.
Of course, it cannot be denied that the successful sample was, after all, a doll that was turned into a puppet, and the other party may have taken the opportunity to escape after Lilith disappeared.
But would Lilith really just leave her first successful creation in such an obvious place, letting it escape?
Putting herself in Jiang Liyue's shoes, if it were the most precious experimental result that might grow legs and escape, she would definitely hide it, lock it up, and keep it locked away. In short, she wouldn't allow the other party even the slightest possibility of escaping.
Moreover, something so precious might not be something they want anyone else to discover.
After sharing her guess, Jiang Liyue looked at Chu Li with sparkling eyes: "What do you think of my analysis?"
Chu Li liked her confident demeanor; she seemed genuinely happy.
As a result, Chu Li seemed to have developed a liking for this so-called detective game.
As long as it makes Jiang Liyue happy, then it has a reason to exist.
Chu Li demonstrated her response to Jiang Liyue through her actions.
He lifted Jiang Liyue off his shoulders with both hands, wrapped his arms around her waist, and raised her high.
From this height, Jiang Liyue could look down at him.
Chu Li looked up with an air of pride and admiration, as if worshipping or submitting: "That's right, our baby is so smart."
Jiang Liyue was suddenly lifted up. She was instinctively startled at first, but then she began to enjoy the height.
Hearing Chu Li's words, she rolled her eyes: "Childish."
Her slightly upturned lips betrayed her good mood.
[You two lovebirds just care about being sweet and don't care about my life or death, sob sob...]
